LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accuvant and FishNet Security, which joined together earlier this year to create the nation’s largest holistic pure-play cyber security solutions provider, today announced that it has completed its transformational merger and is now conducting business as Optiv Security. The company made the announcement at Black Hat USA 2015 in Las Vegas, where it also launched its new Optiv brand.
“Cyber security is a multi-faceted problem, and technology is only one part of the solution,” said Optiv chief executive officer Dan Burns. “No matter how effective the technology, it must be part of a holistic approach that includes business objectives, identification of risks and prioritization of data, strategy, processes, technology to support the strategy and processes, and people.”
Burns continued, “Optiv has the know-how and experience that organizations need to target a problem or project, or bring it all together in a holistic fashion with an ongoing, programmatic approach. We understand all the pieces and parts, sort through the vast options, and help clients identify, evaluate and implement the best solution for their unique security needs.”
As a single-source provider of cyber security services and related products, Optiv offers end-to-end solutions developed from nearly 30 years of experience in the cyber security industry. The company combines its own second-generation managed security services capabilities, as compared to the first-generation capabilities delivered by others in the market, incident response, and other consulting and professional services with security technology from an extensive ecosystem of product manufacturers. This allows Optiv to help clients address their full range of cyber risk and security needs in a customized and integrated fashion.
